These look great.

I really like the weathering on the left thingy:

The next two pieces finished





I'm very pleased with how these came out.

All the scatter pieces finished!

I’ve started on some habitats  and hopefully I’ll post them next

Thanks.

I will redo some of the numbers on the buildings as I had problems getting the stencils to line up (especially on the grey U shaped building).

Next up are some high tech habitats. I'm also planning some shanty style buildings so I wanted these to look a bit cleaner and better quality living!

The main plastic shape for the house is recycled from a 1/72nd diecast model tank, which I glued a bunch of bits on. The cables are made from green stuff along with pieces of electrical wire, and the doors and shutters are 3D printed.  The lights and security cameras are from the Dungeons and Lasers range and are pretty cool.




Also I finished a Garage/workshop. I think the main shape was from the packaging for some headphones.  As per the other building, I glued some mostly 3D printed parts on as well as other Christmas decoration ball. The white pieces strips are made from PVC foam.




Thanks for looking

 Great work on all of these.

 Wonderful use of all sorts of pieces.

 Is the gold bit on the first building from a Star Wars AT-AT model?Looks very familiar.

Yes well spotted!

It used to be part of a 6mm scifi settlement, which was damaged, so I reused some of the pieces

The first two buildings are finished and I'm starting on a third. I found a much better scifi font stencil and it has come out really well. I'm really pleased with the building colours as they are pretty bright but washed out.

Most of the painting was done with an airbrush first and then the details were painted. I went over it with a thin brown airbrush coat to blend the pieces together where the greebles joined the blue/green base colours, and to add some dirt to the bottom of the buildings.

Sorry for the picture quality as the lighting was pretty poor

The design, paint scheme, weathering - all fantastic!

Thanks for sharing these, and I hope you'll keep them coming.

I like those, as you say, 'Bright, but washed out...with some...
dirt to the bottom'.

 Great use of Kinder Egg pods and pizza stands too.
